I have taken Effexor for about 5 years now. I tried several and this was the one that had the best results (tried Zoloft, Celexa, Trazadone and Serazone). I was stable on 300mg a day for quite awhile, but it had to be increased over this last year.
I also have taken Seroquel for 4-5 years. I started at 400mg a day, and over the last 4 years (as I went back to work and started becoming much more stable) I have slowly decreased the dosage, so that I only take it at night to help me sleep. I was taking 50mg a night, but have started taking only 25mg for a few months now. It works well for me. My doc is wanting to have me stop it and start Ambien, but I am wary about that because I have been doing well for a few weeks and don't want to make any changes.
there is a withdrawl possiblity for any psychotropic medication you stop suddenly, so it is best to slowly decrease it with the doctor's ok.
